TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the fields of medicaments, animal drugs (livestock drugs, veterinary drugs, fishery drugs, and the like). More particularly, it relates to pyrazolo-[1,5-a]-pyrimidine derivatives and analogues, and NAD(P)H oxydase inhibitors containing the same for the prevention of and treatment for NAD(P)H-related diseases.

BACKGROUND ART

It is considered that reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from immunocytes such as neutrophils and phagocytes not only biophylactically acts on the invaded pathogen (Babior, B. M., N. Engl. J. Med., 298, 659-668, 721-725, 1978), but also destructively on tissue in inflammation or circulation disorders (Weiss, S. J., N. Engl. J. Med., 320, 365-376, 1989). The main source of ROS production by neutrophils is NAD(P)H oxidase (Hallett, M. B. et al., Immunology Today, 16, 264-2681 1995), and it has been indicated that inhibition of neutrophil NAD(P)H oxidase can decrease organopathy in diseases involving neutrophils, such as inflammatory disease and circulation disorders (Schmid-Schonbein, G. W. et al., Physiology and pathology of leukocyte adherence, New York, Oxford University Press, 1995).

On the other hand, it has been previously reported that non-phagocytes such as smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells also can produce superoxide anion (O₂ ⁻) dependant on NADPH or NADH and the potential association with cell functions, such as cell proliferation, hyperpermeability, and contraction and relaxation has been suggested (Griendling, K. K. et al., Circ.Res., 86, 494-501, 2000). Oxygen itself was first considered to be almost the same as neutrophil NAD(P)H oxidase. In recent years, the genes of the isozyme of gp91-phox, as a membrane-constituent factor of neutrophil NAD(P)H oxidase, was successively cloned. At present, Duox (dual oxidase) is known as an isozyme having five kinds of Nox from Nox 1 to Nox 5, peroxidase activity and clearly forms the Nox-Duox family, suggesting its potential involvement in various tissue and cell functions and the onset of diseases (Lambeth, J. D., Curr. Opin. Hematol., 9, 11-17, 2002).

The NAD(P)H oxidase of vascular smooth muscle cells and vascular endothelial cells is activated by many stimulations such as blood pressure regulatory hormones including angiotensin II (Ang II), cytokine, thrombin, PDGF, insulin, mechanical stimulation, hyperglycemia and hyperlipemia etc., predicting its involvement in various cardiovascular diseases. The spontaneous hypertensive rat model or the hypertensive rat model by the continuous administration of Ang II, has been reported to result in an increase in O₂ ⁻ production in blood vessel walls via NAD(P)H oxidase and the suppression of the blood pressure increase by the inhibition of NAD(P)H oxidase (Chen, X. et al., Hypertension, 38, 606-611, 2001; Rey, F. E. et al., Circ. Res., 89., 408-414, 2001), suggesting the potential involvement of NAD(P)H oxidase in blood pressure regulation.

Arteriosclerosis lesions are a chronic inflammatory multiplicative change in blood vessels and ROS produced in blood vessel walls plays an important role in its onset and development. In the p47phox knockout mouse, which fails to express a cytoplasmic component of NAD(P)H oxidase, the development of arteriosclerosis lesions has been reported to be inhibited when the mice are subjected to a high cholesterol load (Stokes, K. Y. et al. Circ. Res., 88, 499-505, 2001; Barry-Lane, P. A. et al., J. Clin. Invest., 108, 1513-1522, 2001). ROS is involved in the neointima growth after balloon injury and induces vascular restenosis. In recent years, the increase in NAD(P)H oxidase activity in vascular wall after balloon injury was reported (Shi, Y. et al., Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 21, 739-745, 2001; Szocs, K. et al., Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 22, 21-27, 2002). It was also reported that the NAD(P)H oxidase hypoactivity by C242T genetic variation of p22phox, as a cell membrane component, correlated with a decrease in the incidence rate of coronary artery disease (Inoue, N. et al., Circulation, 97, 135-137, 1998; Cai, H. et al., Eur. J. Clin. Invest., 29, 744-748, 1999; Cahilly, C. et al., Circ. Res., 86, 391-395, 2000). These reports indicate the potential involvement of NAD(P)H oxidase in the onset and development of arteriosclerosis and coronary artery diseases.

The potential involvement of ROS in the onset and development of diabetic complications has been indicated. It has been reported that the stimulation by hyperglycemia or glycated protein enhances oxidative stress via NAD(P)H oxidase in vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, etc. (Inoguchi, T. et al. Diabetes, 49, 1939-1945, 2000; Hink, U. et al. Circ. Res., 88, E14-E22, 2001; Wautier, M. et al., Am. J. Physiol., 280, E685-E694, 2001). The correlation between the increase in NAD(P)H oxidase activity and the injury of retinal vascular endothelial cells was also reported in retinal vessels of a diabetic model rat (Ellis, E. A. et al., Free Radic. Biol. Med., 24, 111-120, 1998).

For cerebral circulation disorders like stroke, it has been reported that leukocytes are involved in tissue injury (Hartl, R. et al., J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab., 16, 1108-1119, 1996). The reduction of cerebral ischemia lesions has been reported in mice defective in neutrophil NAD(P)H oxidase activity (Walder, C. E. et al., Stroke, 28, 2252-2258, 1997). It also has been reported that stimulation by ischemia, inflammation, β-Amyloid, etc. could induce neuronotoxicity by activating NAD(P)H oxidase of microglia cells (Spranger, M. et al. J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab., 18, 674-678, 1998; Vianca, V. D. et al., J. Biol. Chem., 274, 15493-15499, 1999; Green, S. P. et al., J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab., 21, 374-384, 2001). These results suggest the potential involvement of NAD(P)H oxidase in stroke and neurodegenerative diseases.

ROS produced from NAD(P)H oxidase is involved in cell proliferation and vascularization, suggesting an association with tumor hyperplasia (Arnold, R. S. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 98, 5550-5555, 2001; Arbiser, J. L. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 99, 715-720, 2002).

Besides the aforesaid, NAD(P)H oxidase activity has been reported in the kidney cells, gastric cells, fat cells, chondrocytes, etc., raising the association with cell function. As stated above, NAD(P)H oxidase is widely associated with the onset and development of the diseases based on inflammation, circulation disorders and enhancement of proliferation activity, etc., i.e. hypertension, diabetic complications, arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, stroke, ischemic disease, neurodegenerative diseases, pulmonary circulation disorders, nephritis, arthritis, inflammatory diseases, cancer, etc. There is a possibility that NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitors can restrain these diseases.

Example 21 In Vitro Test on the Compound of the Present Invention

By the following methods, the inhibition activity of a representative compound of the present invention on NAD(P)H oxidase activity, was investigated in vitro.

1. Adjustment of Bovine Aortic Membrane Fraction

Bovine aortic membrane fraction was used as enzyme preparation. Sectioned bovine aortic smooth muscle layer was pulverized with an iron mill, homogenized in 10-times the amount of homogenization buffer (pH 7.4; 20 mM MOPS, 250 mM Scrose), the fractional centrifuged supernatants of 1,000 g (15 minutes, 4° C.), 10,800 g (15 minutes, 4° C.) and 29,000 g (15 minutes, 4° C.) and pellet of 100,000 g centrifuged for 60 minutes were resuspended in MOPS Buffer (pH 7.4). These were stored as stocks of enzyme preparation at −80° C.

2. Measurement of NADH/NADPH Oxidase Inhibition Activity

For NADH/NADPH oxidase activity and compound inhibition activity, O₂ ⁻ produced in NADH/NADPH oxidase reaction was calculated by determining chemical luminescence with lucigenin using an improved version of the method by Griendling et al. (Griendling K, Ollerenshaw J D, Minieri C A, Alexander R W (1994) Angiotensin II stimulates NADH and NADPH oxidase activity in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. Circ. Res. 74; 1141-1148). In other words, a NADH/NADPH oxidase enzyme preparation and the compound of the present invention, which was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, were added to 20 mM MOPS buffer (pH 7.4) containing 5 μM lucigenin and 100 μM NADH, followed by reaction at 37° C. Chemical luminescence produced by excitation of lucigenin by O₂ ⁻ released by the enzyme reaction was detected with a luminescence reader and determined as enzyme activity.
